This unit was in an easy to access location next to the main set of elevators. Kitchen was minimally stocked and every time someone showered in units around us it sounded like a ship horn blowing in the distance.

Upon arrival the couch and chair were steamed clean so they were wet and unable to be used until Monday. So from Saturday to Monday we had to sit on the floor. Rap music was playing as we were told music is put on to set the mood. But acknowledged it should not have new rap music The blinds in the master bathroom did not work. The furniture on the front deck was not what was there previously and pictured in the listing new furniture with no table to put your coffee down on. The elevators were sometimes not working on our departure date only 2 elevators worked so to depart was a challenge. This was one of our favorite places and based on this trip we will not be returning. ![Us placing the couch pillow in the window to try to dry faster](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/79cdad03-d86c-4a97-8373-89f5bc5e3f18-1745869891398.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/01da0d0a-450a-4625-8955-7f06a6996ec8-1745869877854.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hole in couch](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ae75334a-54b3-408b-be90-d4cff81cf801-1745869889004.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Stains still on couch after cleaning](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0873019d-f5b4-4113-b8ed-8384717d1982-1745869894018.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John B.

Parts of the unit seem like they recently had some nice updates! The beach was beautiful but crowded! A few disappointing things; building was showing her age and while the unit itself had some updates, you could still tell it was aged. That was why the cleanliness had 3/5 rating. The furniture is modernly nice but not high quality, very cheap made, no dining table. I would suggest renting beach chair set ups well in advance! Beach was very crowded but it was a peak time. Overall we enjoyed our stay! ##### John B.

We only really encountered an issue when trying to enjoy the beach. The area reserved for resort guests was so congested that we tried to sit to the side and a manager from the neighboring condo ran us off. So my husband and I had to get in the car and drive down the road and pay park fees to sit at Henderson State Park. A preference I guess, but all those chairs out front are not used yet they take up so much space. We loved how close we were to everything though. Overall it was great. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Allison S. 13 Apr 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Walked into a disaster, but great stay overall. We checked in, and walked into a very unclean room. There were sand piles on the floor, slept in, unmade beds, used tampons in the bathroom garbage, food in the fridge, coffee grounds in the maker, and we found glass shards on the kitchen floor. Not exactly how we pictured entering the place we'd stay for a week after a 18 hour drive. After I got in touch with a representative, a cleaning crew did come out the next morning and it was wonderful coming back to a cleaned condo. Unfortunately, we were told we'd receive a money refund in the mail and that never did turn up which is very disheartening. After we had the re-start it was a very enjoyable stay and the view from the gulf facing balcony is incredible. We were able to see dolphins a few mornings, and watched them play in the waves. ##### Allison S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022
